Followed main quest diligently [also plundered a number of shirnes and
dungeons, etc.] and now find that Urshilahu will NOT speak to me -
despite having the Decoded message from Caias, getting the appropriate
potions/spells from the Fort and buying the poetry/receiving the
message from the Ashlander. They refuse to talk to me - so I must have
killed off someone or removed something that has affected the main
line. Is there a fix to this? I have 50-60 hours invested.

Had you killed someone necessary for completing the main quest, the
game would have warned you about it.

The reason the Urshilaku Ashlander won't speak to your character, is
because their disposition to him or her is too low. I suggest bribery.
I find it to be more effective than trying to flatter the NPCs.

Thank you for the response - I went back and talked AFTER I offered the
gift - originally I was talking before the gift and it apparently
cancelled out the benefit of the gift. Thank you for letting me know
that the main quest is always alive.

Yes you have to give the Urshilahu money to get any response...
Miserable lot I thought ...so I killed there main Wise Women and most of the
rest of them ..and broke the
Quest...there is an alternative route through the game and this i think is a
good place to break into it ..
Then I went and killed Caias (he wasn't happy about the Urshilahu slaughter)
...
try it if you are fed up with that smug half-naked (why isn't he ever
wearing a shirt ?) smirking Gay Blade
telling you what to do .

Not if you've got a good enough Speechcraft skill to get their
disposition up to 80 or so.
